The Biden administration has been careful to keep Biden from the press. But they could only do that for so long.
And now Joe Biden was left speechless during this shocking interview.
President Biden has refused to officially commit to running for president again in 2024.
Questions surrounding his mental competency have led many to speculate that he is being pressured to give up his title to pave the way for a younger generation of Leftists.
These accusations coupled with his constant stumbling in speeches and on Air Force One’s staircase has made the Biden administration only allow the president to be interviewed by friendly networks.
But they’re learning that even the most expected questions are hardballs for someone like Joe Biden.
And he proved just how incompetent he is as a leader when he was asked why he hadn’t visited East Palestine, Ohio, the site of a terrible toxic train derailment.
President Joe Biden defended his decision not to visit East Palestine, Ohio, this month, following a huge train catastrophe that resulted in a chemical leak that is affecting the local community.
The devastating train crash on February 3 in the little Ohio town was triggered by an overheated wheel bearing on the 23rd of 149 rail cars.
Local officials then evacuated all people within one mile of the accident and began a controlled burn of the vinyl chloride that the train was delivering in an attempt to prevent a huge explosion.
Biden made the statements during a Friday interview with ABC News host David Muir.
“So do you plan to travel there and have you talked with the mayor?” Muir inquired.
“I can’t recall whether, I don’t think I’ve talked to the mayor. I’ve talked to everyone else there,” Biden claimed. “Multiple times, talked to both the senators, both, both governors, I’ve talked to everyone that there is to talk to and we made it clear that everything is available.”

Muir then questioned Biden about statements made by the mayor of East Palestine about Biden’s decision not to visit the American town while making time to visit a foreign country.
“It’s been three weeks now since the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. As you know, the mayor says he saw you in Ukraine,” Muir said.
“And he says it tells you he doesn’t care about us. They’re asking, ‘Is the president coming to Ohio?’”
“Do you have any plan to travel to Ohio?” Muir inquired. “And have you talked with the mayor yet?”
“Let’s put this in perspective. Within two hours of that derailment, the EPA was in there, within two hours,” Biden said.
“Every major agency in the United States government that’s had anything to do with rail and/or cleanup was there and is there.”
Biden smirks and immediately gets very defensive when a journalist tells him the mayor of East Palestine, Ohio, "says he saw you in Ukraine, and he says, 'It tells you he doesn’t care about us.'" pic.twitter.com/VBML5Np5mV
